✦ Synopsis


Let N be an n Γ— n neighborhood matrix for a tree or forest. We show that IdetNI is bounded by the nth Fibonacci number. We obtain a simple, elegant algorithm to compute detN that operates directly on the forest and uses O(n) space and O(n) arithmetic operations.

We derive an expansion for a certain determinant that involves two sets of formal variables. The result provides a unified approach to several known expansions including a generalized form of the matrix-tree theorem.
